RiverArtsFest<\/a> happens this Saturday and Sunday in the South Main Arts District, with music on 5 stages, food, and more than 150 artists selling their work.\u00a0 South Main from Huling to St. Paul will be closed off for the event, which will run from 10 AM to 6 PM Saturday, and 10 AM to 5 PM Friday.\u00a0 This is the descendant of the South Main Arts Festival and Arts in the Park, and drew 40,000 people in its first year last year.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>I want to personally recommend the work of one of the artists who will have a booth there:\u00a0 Shane Paris Art<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve known Shane for 5 years and have seen his work in several galleries during previous South Main Trolley Art Tours.\u00a0 His premise is that everyone should be able to afford art, not just the rich.\u00a0 You can check out some of his artwork here<\/a>.\u00a0 He also can be hired to create a custom photo montage<\/a> of your favorite images.\u00a0 Shane also does logo design<\/a>, and he custom-designed the logo I currently use on my business cards to reflect a “Downtown” feel.\u00a0 He does freelance ad layout design<\/a> too.\u00a0 Also, he can take an ordinary photo of your pet and turn it into a truly unique and special memory.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Shane is not only an artist I highly respect, but a true friend as well.\u00a0 When I was invited to come to Sunday brunch at Sleep Out Louie’s one day in early 2003, Shane was one of the first people I met, and he and his girlfriend Leigh immediately made me feel welcome and part of the group.\u00a0 Since then he’s always been there with advice when I needed it, and has just been a real good person to sit at a bar and drink a beer with.\u00a0 He’s a good person for Downtowners to hire to do custom work, because he lives and breathes Downtown Memphis.<\/p>\n

Be sure to look for his booth this weekend.\u00a0 Look for me too – I’ll be at RiverArtsFest both days, probably getting there around noon and staying until close.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
